Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) president Rafael Louzán has reiterated that Spain will host the final of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The tournament will be co-hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. Louzán made the statement at a conference held at the RFEF's Ciudad del Fútbol headquarters on the outskirts of Madrid. He emphasized that there is no alternative plan and that Spain remains confident about hosting the final.

Louzán's comments come in response to remarks made by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's opposition party. Feijóo suggested that he would advocate for withdrawing Spain's bid to host the tournament if Morocco were awarded the final. This was said ahead of Spain's general election scheduled for November 29. However, Louzán described this scenario as hypothetical and stressed that Spain is committed to hosting the final.

According to Louzán, the final "belongs to the European continent" under FIFA's tradition of rotating World Cup hosting regions. He added that the prospect of Spain not hosting the final is not on the table. This reaffirms Spain's bid to host the prestigious match. The 2030 World Cup is expected to be a significant event, and the hosting rights are highly coveted.

A delegation of FIFA technical experts recently inspected Spanish stadiums seeking to host matches at the 2030 World Cup. The visits are part of the preparations for the tournament, which will be jointly staged by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. This inspection is a crucial step in the evaluation process for the hosting countries.

The 2030 World Cup will be a historic event, with three countries co-hosting the tournament. Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are working together to ensure a successful event. The final decision on the venue for the final match is expected to be made by 2028. FIFA's decision will be closely watched by fans and officials alike.

Louzán's statement has alleviated concerns about Spain's commitment to hosting the final. The Spanish Football Federation is confident that the event will be a success. The tournament is expected to bring together teams from around the world, and Spain is eager to showcase its capabilities as a host country.

The 2030 World Cup is set to be a major sporting event, with significant attention focused on the hosting countries. Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are working together to deliver a memorable tournament. The final will be a highlight of the event, and Spain is determined to host it.
